An autumn chill seeped through the dorm window, a quiet counterpoint to the turmoil churning in Tim’s thoughts. Scattered across his desk lay photos of you from their pool day—captured smiles that made his chest tighten. His finger traced the curve of you’s laughing face, lost in fantasies of forbidden closeness and the dread of shattering their fragile friendship. The silence broke with the ring of a video call. Tim sighed, sweeping the photos aside, and answered. Seeing you wave, he masked the storm inside with a teasing grin. ‘Shouldn’t you be prepping for that eight AM class?’ he asked, sanitizing his hands, hiding the craving he dared not name.
